Specific embodiment
[1-1. background]
Firstly, being illustrated using Fig. 1 to the transition of image technology.Fig. 1 is said for the evolution to image technology
Bright figure.
Up to the present, as the higher image quality of image, it is mainly focused on the expansion of display pixel number, from Standard
720 × 480 pixels of Definition (SD: SD) start, 1920 × 1080 pictures of High Definition (HD: high definition)
The image of element is gaining popularity.
In recent years, using further higher image quality as target, Ultra High Definition (UHD: superelevation has been started
The importing of the so-called 4K image of 4096 × 2048 pixels of 3840 × 1920 pixels or 4K clearly).
While the importing of 4K, dynamic range expansion also studied, colour gamut expands or the addition or raising of frame rate
Deng.
Wherein, about dynamic range, as be used to while maintaining dark portion grayscale, by cannot with existing TV signal
The bright light of the specular light of performance etc. is in a manner of the brightness performance closer to reality, HDR (High Dynamic
Range it) attracts attention.Specifically, TV signal up to the present be referred to as SDR (Standard Dynamic Range:
Standard dynamic range), maximum brightness is 100nit.Maximum brightness is extended to 1000nit in contrast, contemplating in HDR
More than.HDR is just in SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture&Television Engineers: film and TV work
Association of Engineers) and ITU-R (International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunications
Sector: International Telecommunication Union's radio communication group) etc. in carrying out master tape and show that (mastering display) uses standard
Standardization.
As the specific application target of HDR, with HD and UHD it is also envisaged that broadcast, encapsulation medium (Blu-ray (note
Volume trade mark) Disc etc.) and the Internet-distributed etc..
[relationship of 1-2. master tape (master) generation, published method and display device]
Fig. 2 is for illustrating making video from new Findings to content, published method and display device when importing
The figure of relationship.
In the case where the higher image quality for image imports new Findings (increase etc. of pixel number), such as Fig. 2
It is shown, need (1) to change the master tape towards Home Entertainment (home entertaining) of making video side.With this
It is corresponding, need to show the published method of (2) broadcast, communication and encapsulation medium etc. and (3) TV or projector etc. of the image
Display device also update.
[1-3. tone mapping]
Tone mapping (Tone Mapping) is the maximum brightness of brightness and image display according to HDR image
The relationship of (Display Peak Luminance:DPL), in maximum brightness (the Maximum Content Luminance of image
Level:MaxCLL) more than DPL in the case where by the luminance transformation of image, make the brightness of image include processing within DPL.
Through this process, the information near the maximum brightness of image can not be lost and shows image.It is aobvious that the transformation had both depended on image
The characteristic of showing device also depends on the form of thinking how to be shown, therefore uses not according to each image display
Same conversion curve.
Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B are the figures for indicating an example of tone mapping.Fig. 3 A indicates the case where DPL is 500nit, and Fig. 3 B is indicated
The case where DPL is 1000nit.In addition, Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B are showing the tone in the case where the image that MaxCLL is 1000nit
Map and show MaxCLL be 4000nit image in the case where tone mapping example.
As shown in Figure 3A, in the case where DPL is 500nit, by luminance transformation so which image can be
500nit or less is shown to MaxCLL, but the image of MaxCLL high, the degree of transformation are bigger.
As shown in Figure 3B, in the case where DPL is 1000nit, in the image that MaxCLL is 1000nit, without color
Adjust mapping.In the image that MaxCLL is 4000nit, tone mapping is carried out, simultaneously for 1000nit by the luminance transformation of 4000nit
Display.
[1-4. dynamic metadata and dynamic tone mapping]
Fig. 4 A is the figure for indicating the example of the tone mapping using static metadata.Fig. 4 B is indicated using dynamic metadata
Dynamic tone mapping example figure.
As shown in Figure 4 A, using static metadata (MaxCLL), since MaxCLL is in a series of image
It is interior to indicate highest brightness, so the tone mapping that a series of image can be only fixed in image display.Phase
For this, shown in (a) of image display such as Fig. 4 B, by using the brightness matching with time change metadata (here
Referred to as Dynamic MaxCLL), without tone mapping ((b) of Fig. 4 B), higher in brightness such as in the lower situation of brightness
In the case where carry out tone mapping ((c) of Fig. 4 B) like that, can be realized the optimal tone with the brightness matching of time change
Mapping.
[synthesis of 1-5. image and figure]
Fig. 5 indicates to be superimposed the figure of menu and subtitle etc., the example that is shown with image display on a moving image
Figure.Here, the example of Ultra HD Blu-ray is indicated.
Moving image before superposed graph is shown as into main image.In Ultra HD Blu-ray, with HD resolution ratio
Prepare figure.Picture reproducer carries out HD-UHD transformation by the figure to HD to generate the figure of UHD.Also, image is again
Existing device synthesizes the figure of obtained UHD with the main image of UHD resolution ratio.Also, picture reproducer is by the shadow after synthesis
As being passed via HDMI (registered trademark) (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) to image display
It send.Image display shows the image that transmission comes as HDR.
In addition, brightness of the picture reproducer based on main image time change determine dynamic metadata, via HDMI to
Image display transmission.Image display based on transmission come dynamic metadata, to be superimposed in main image subtitle and
The video signal of menu implements dynamic tone mapping.
The feelings of HDR image of the situation in OTT (Over The Top: cross) service of the display based on broadcast or communication
It is same in the case where menu or subtitle are also superimposed in main image and shows obtained image with image display under condition
's.
[1-6. carries out class in the case where dynamic tone mapping to the image data for being superimposed figure in moving image
Topic]
In dynamic metadata mode, first number about brightness of Luminance Distribution of HDR image etc. is specified according to each frame
According to, together with video signal by such metadata to image display transmit.Image display is shown according to the image
The display capabilities of the maximum brightness of device etc. are carried out with transmitting the metadata come as reference by the processing of luminance transformation etc..In this way
Though dynamic metadata mode be used as the display performance of brightness of image display etc. how all display as far as possible be certain
The mode of the image of quality attracts attention.
But dynamic metadata is due to changing in time, so there is the display for the image that should be certain originally unstable
The problem of.
If the image that should be shown is only the image edited or supervized simultaneously, so-called moving image, it is able to carry out
To a certain degree in view of the processing of the situation of image.If using such moving image as main image, while will be certain originally
And the graph data of subtitle or menu not changed completely etc. is superimposed upon in main image and shows, then by using dynamic metadata
Processing, occur should be certain figure brightness or the changed adverse effect of color.The brightness of main image is higher, image
The brightness of display device is lower, and the adverse effect is more significant.
Fig. 6 is the figure for indicating the influence of dynamic tone mapping when being superimposed figure in main image.Here, such as Fig. 6
(a) shown in, the brightness of the figure of superposition is assumed to 350nit.As shown in (b) of Fig. 6, in the lower area of the brightness of main image
Between in, without tone mapping, figure is shown on image display using the 350nit as original brightness.Another party
Face, as shown in (c) of Fig. 6, in the higher section of brightness of main image, carry out tone mapping, by the brightness of figure with than
350nit low brightness is shown on image display.In this way, the brightness that would otherwise be certain figure changes in time,
As bad state.Here it is set as the influence of only brightness, but in actual image display, because of color component
It is affected, so also there is the case where color is also affected.
[1-7. solution]
As the means for avoiding the above subject, it may be considered that pass the location information of the figure of superposition to image display
It send, the method for making the part for only showing figure not apply dynamic metadata.But this method is in the entire area of display picture
Need whether to show the transmission of the information of figure, the processing in image display is also required to the judgement under display pixel unit
Deng realization is extremely difficult.
Solution below is used in the disclosure.In the 1st method, picture reproducer is as dynamic metadata
Information will indicate that " Graphics overlay mark " that figure whether is superimposed in main image is transmitted to image display.As figure
Shape, due to having menu and subtitle, so can also be by " menu superposition mark " as " Graphics overlay mark " picture reproducer
And " subtitle superposition mark " is transmitted to image display.
Image display becomes the On/Off of dynamic tone mapping or its intensity according to the state of menu superposition mark
Change.Thereby, it is possible to reduce figure from dynamic tone mapping to superposition influence.
In the 2nd method, picture reproducer is other than the 1st method, also by the letter of the maximum brightness of the figure of superposition
It ceases and is transmitted as the information of dynamic metadata to image display.Mark is same with being superimposed, can also be in subtitle and menu
It is separately provided maximum brightness information.
Image display can more meticulously control dynamic according to the information of the maximum brightness of Graphics overlay mark and figure
State tone mapping.
In the 3rd method, image display is using interframe correlation etc., and detection is shown as certain figure, for this
Part inhibits dynamic tone mapping.
In the 4th method, Ultra HD Blu-ray transcriber, broadcast receiver or Internet Broadcast receive dress
The HDR picture reproducer set etc. is according to the maximum brightness information of the image display connected, by the bright of the figure of superposition
Degree change, to reduce the influence of the tone mapping carried out by image display.In addition, picture reproducer can both pass through behaviour
Author's sets to obtain the maximum brightness of image display, can also be by being connected on the HDMI of picture reproducer
EDID is obtained from image display.
Since the method for the tone mapping of image display is various, so the adjustment of the brightness of figure can
It is adjusted with certain amplitude.As the method for its adjustment, there is the method for operator's setting or filled based on being shown from each image
The method etc. that the information that the database set obtains is adjusted.
In the 5th method, HDR picture reproducer assumes that display has been superimposed the image display of the HDR image of figure
The method of dynamic tone mapping the dynamic tone in image display is implemented to the figure of superposition before superposed graph
The inverse transformation of mapping.Superimposed figure can be carried out after implementing dynamic tone mapping as a result, with original brightness and color
Display.
The method of dynamic tone mapping method as the image display for assuming connection, can be used side below
Method.Picture reproducer simply, as impregnable maximum brightness, by the maximum brightness for reaching image display
Such as the brightness of 90% image information correspond to.More particularly, picture reproducer can also take from database
These information are obtained to correspond to.Alternatively, picture reproducer can also be measured by test pattern (pattern), based on survey
Amount result is set.
By above method, passed in the Internet-distributed to encapsulation medium or OTT etc. by broadcast, Blu-ray etc.
In the case that the HDR video signal sent carries out dynamic tone mapping, dynamic tone mapping can be reduced for menu or subtitle
Deng figure influence.Thereby, it is possible to obtain the display of stable subtitle or menu and with the maximum brightness of image display
(DPL) and the effect of the corresponding dynamic tone mapping of the maximum brightness of moving image.
In addition, it is particular enable to increase and the HDR effect in the image display of the relatively low brightness of brightness of image,
On the other hand, it can be realized the display of the higher menu of same as static tone mapping quality and subtitle.
In addition, by the way that the processing of subtitle and menu is separated, can by the processing being suitble to respectively with subtitle and menu, into
The influence of one step reduction dynamic tone mapping.Specifically, the brightness relative to subtitle is substantially certain brightness, menu it is bright
Degree is variation.In addition, in the case where showing subtitle when main image reproduces, from initially showing subtitle to the end, and
It is synchronous with main image.On the other hand, menu is only shown in the case where operation, and not synchronous with main image.Can carry out
In view of the processing of the difference of the property of such subtitle and menu.
[2. embodiment 1]
In the present embodiment, picture reproducer will indicate the Graphics overlay mark that figure whether is superimposed in main image
Will is implanted in a part of dynamic metadata and transmits to image display.Image display is according to Graphics overlay mark
State, use the On/Off or its Strength Changes of the dynamic tone mapping of dynamic metadata.Thereby, it is possible to reduce dynamic color
Adjust mapping to the influence of the figure of superposition.Graphics overlay mark can also by the display of expression subtitle with/without subtitle superposition
Mark and indicate menu show with/without menu superposition mark two constitute.

Fig. 8 A be the main image dynamic metadata for indicating to transmit from picture reproducer 101 to image display 102 and
The figure of the structural example of Graphics overlay mark.As shown in Figure 8 A, main image dynamic metadata indicates the maximum brightness of main image and puts down
Equal brightness.For example, main image dynamic metadata indicates the maximum brightness and average brightness of 1 frame unit or multiframe unit.
Fig. 8 B is the figure for indicating other structural example of main image dynamic metadata and Graphics overlay mark.As shown in Figure 8 B,
Graphics overlay mark also may include indicating whether to be superimposed with the subtitle superposition mark of subtitle in main image and indicating whether
The menu superposition mark of menu is superimposed in main image.
Then, the structure of image display 102 is illustrated.Image display 102 has image receiving unit
121, metadata acquisition unit 122, tone mapping processing unit 123 and display unit 124.
Image receiving unit 121 receives the video signal come from the transmission of picture reproducer 101 and dynamic metadata.Image connects
Receipts portion 121 separates video signal with dynamic metadata, and video signal is transmitted to tone mapping processing unit 123, will dynamic member
Data are transmitted to metadata acquisition unit 122.The main image dynamic metadata that metadata acquisition unit 122 will include in dynamic metadata
And Graphics overlay mark is transmitted as control signal to tone mapping processing unit 123.
Tone mapping processing unit 123 carries out the tone mapping processing of video signal according to main image dynamic metadata.Specifically
For, tone mapping processing unit 123, according to main image dynamic metadata, carries out shadow in the case where Graphics overlay mark is OFF
As the tone mapping of signal handles (processing of dynamic tone mapping).On the other hand, tone mapping processing unit 123 is in Graphics overlay mark
In the case that will is ON, the tone mapping processing for reducing influence of the dynamic tone mapping to the figure of superposition is carried out.Display unit
124 display tone mappings treated video signal.
[2-2. tone mapping processing unit]
The details of tone mapping processing unit 123 is illustrated.Fig. 9 is the knot for indicating tone mapping processing unit 123
The block diagram of structure.Tone mapping processing unit 123 has coefficient operational part 131, coefficient retaining unit 132, tone mapping portion 133 and switching
Portion SW1 and SW2.
The video signal for carrying out self imaging receiving unit 121 is transmitted to tone mapping portion 133.From metadata acquisition unit 122
Main image dynamic metadata transmitted to coefficient operational part 131.
Coefficient operational part 131 is calculated according to the image display capabilities of the brightness of image display 102 etc. in tone mapping
Tone mapping coefficient used in the tone mapping processing in portion 133.132 retention coefficient operational part 131 of coefficient retaining unit calculates
Tone mapping coefficient.Here, the tone mapping coefficient is to indicate the conversion curve used in tone mapping processing
Function in include coefficient.That is, determining conversion curve by tone mapping coefficient.
Switching part SW1 selection is by the calculated tone mapping coefficient (A) of coefficient operational part 131 and is maintained at coefficient retaining unit
The side in tone mapping coefficient (B) in 132 transmits selected tone mapping coefficient to tone mapping portion 133.Switching
Portion SW2 is selected by calculated tone tone mapping coefficient (A) and be maintained in coefficient retaining unit 132 of coefficient operational part 131
A side in mapping coefficient (B) inputs selected tone mapping coefficient to coefficient retaining unit 132.That is, switching part SW2 is cut
Change be the tone mapping coefficient update that will remain in coefficient retaining unit 132 is by the new calculated tone of coefficient operational part 131
Mapping coefficient (A), or the tone mapping coefficient currently kept is continued to keep (B).
Switching part SW1 and SW2 are interlocked, and A are connected in the case where Graphics overlay mark is OFF, in Graphics overlay
Mark is connected to B in the case where being ON.As a result, in the case where being superimposed with figure, the dynamic color based on dynamic metadata
Mapping is adjusted to be fixed.
In addition, in the case where Graphics overlay mark includes subtitle superposition mark and menu superposition mark, by a combination thereof,
The processing of the tone mapping coefficient inputted to tone mapping portion 133 can be changed.It as an example, is ON's in subtitle superposition mark
In the case of, tone mapping coefficient is fixed (switching part SW1 and SW2 are connected to B), and the feelings for being ON in only menu superposition mark
Under condition, common tone mapping coefficient (switching part SW1 and SW2 are connected to A) etc. is used.
In addition, this structure is an example, tone mapping processing unit 123, both can be in the case where Graphics overlay mark is ON
Tone mapping coefficient is fixed below specific brightness, it can also be handled without tone mapping.
Figure 10 is tone mapping processing unit in the case where indicating that tone mapping coefficient is fixed below specific brightness
The figure of the structure of 123A.Tone mapping processing unit 123A replaces switching part SW1 and has coefficient combining unit 134.
Coefficient combining unit 134 is in the case where Graphics overlay mark is ON, for the boundary as preset brightness
Brightness more than brightness carries out the processing of dynamic tone mapping, but for the brightness less than boundary luminances, carries out (1) for tone mapping
Fixed, (2) inhibit the variation of tone mapping or (4) that the influence of tone mapping is become without tone mapping processing, (3)
The processing of the not perceived degree of people etc..Here, the boundary luminances, e.g. most than the brightness that uses in the graphic
It is worth high brightness greatly.Tone mapping is inhibited to change in the brightness range for figure as a result,.In addition, in the process above,
In order to maintain the conversion curve of boundary luminances or more and the continuity of the conversion curve less than boundary luminances, coefficient combining unit 134
Conversion curve can also be corrected, so that conversion curve is smoothly varying in these borderline regions.
In addition, there is illustrated the structures only about image, subtitle and menu, but in picture reproducer 101 and image
In display device 102, also audio signal etc. is handled, transmit and is exported.Because these are not related with the disclosure, including after
Explanation also omit it.
In addition, in the case where Graphics overlay mark includes subtitle superposition mark and menu superposition mark, it is shown in Fig. 10
Coefficient combining unit 134 uses different synthetic methods according to the state of subtitle superposition mark and menu superposition mark.For example,
Coefficient combining unit 134 is in the case that menu Composite Logo is ON the case where subtitle superposition mark is ON and only, by above-mentioned boundary
Brightness settings are different values.
Coefficient combining unit 134 consider display unit 124 maximum brightness and other characteristic about image and set boundary
Brightness.Here, the luminance level of usual menu is higher than the luminance level of subtitle.Coefficient combining unit 134 is superimposed in menu and marks as a result,
In the case that will is ON, compared with the case where only subtitle superposition mark is ON, boundary luminances can be set to higher.
In addition, menu is to decide whether superposition according to the meaning of user, can also have and dynamic tone mapping pair
The considerations of influence of menu is compared to the tone mapping for more paying attention to main image mode.Coefficient combining unit 134 can also be in only dish as a result,
In the case that single superposition mark is ON, boundary luminances are set to compared with the case where subtitle superposition mark is ON lower.
[movement of 2-3. image display system]
Illustrate the flowing of the movement of image display system.Figure 11 A is the process for indicating the movement of picture reproducer 101
Figure.Picture reproducer 101, according to the processing status of figure (subtitle and menu), determines in master after the reproduction for starting image
Whether figure (S101) is superimposed in image.In the case where being superimposed with figure in main image ("Yes" in S101), image reproduction
Graphics overlay mark is set as ON (S102) by device 101.On the other hand, in the case where figure is not superimposed in main image
("No" in S101), Graphics overlay mark is set to an off (S103) by picture reproducer 101.Then, picture reproducer
101 are repeated the processing of step S101~S103, until image reproduction is completed or has reproduction to stop operation (S104).For example,
The processing is repeated with 1 frame unit or multiframe unit.
Figure 11 B is the flow chart for indicating the movement of image display 102.What image display 102 was shown in image
Start tone mapping processing while beginning.At this point, image display 102 determines that Graphics overlay mark is ON or OFF
(S111).In the case where Graphics overlay mark is OFF ("No" in S111), image display 102 by switching part SW1 and
SW2 is connected to A, is handled by carrying out the tone mapping based on main image dynamic metadata, and tone mapping is updated (S112).
That is, coefficient operational part 131 calculates tone mapping coefficient, tone mapping portion 133 based on the main image dynamic metadata at current time
For the image at current time, tone mapping processing is carried out using calculated tone mapping coefficient.At this point, coefficient retaining unit
132 keep new calculated tone mapping coefficient.
If Graphics overlay mark becomes ON ("Yes" in S111), image display 102 by by switching part SW1 and
SW2 is connected to B, and tone mapping is fixed (S113).Specifically, by the way that the input terminal of coefficient retaining unit 132 is connected to
The output terminal of itself, coefficient retaining unit 132 keep switching part SW2 will be from A as the tone mapping coefficient before B.In addition,
Since switching part SW1 is connected to B, so the tone mapping coefficient used in tone mapping portion 133 is fixed.As a result, not
There is the time fluctuation of tone mapping again.
In addition, if Graphics overlay mark becomes OFF ("No" in S111), then start the time fluctuation of tone mapping coefficient
(S112).The processing of these S111~S113 is repeated, until the operation for finishing receiving or making display OFF of image
(S114).For example, the processing is repeated with 1 frame unit or multiframe unit.
As above, the image display system 100 in relation to present embodiment, which has, carries out using most light with image
Spend the tone mapping processing unit 123 and display tone that corresponding conversion curve handles the tone mapping of the luminance transformation of image
The display unit 124 of mapping treated image.The switching of tone mapping processing unit 123 is the time sequence according to the maximum brightness of image
The 1st tone mapping processing (S112) that the variation of column changes conversion curve with time series, is still not dependent on image most
The variation of the time series of big brightness and carry out handling (S113) using the 2nd tone mapping of certain conversion curve.
As a result, such as can according to switch the classification of image be by the conversion curve used in tone mapping with when
Between sequence change or fixed.Thereby, it is possible to the classifications etc. according to image, are to carry out optimal tone at each moment to reflect to switch
It penetrates, or inhibits would otherwise be the brightness change of certain image by fixing tone mapping.In this way, image display system
100 can be improved the quality of the image of display.
In addition, image display system 100 is also equipped with the combining unit for generating image and figure is synthesized in main image
(main image combining unit 118 and figure combining unit 117).Tone mapping processing unit 123 does not have the feelings of synthesising pattern in main image
Under condition ("No" in S111), the 1st tone mapping processing (S112), (S111 in the case where figure has been synthesized in main image are carried out
Middle "Yes"), carry out the 2nd tone mapping processing (S113).Thereby, it is possible to inhibit the variation of the brightness of figure.
In addition, combining unit generates the 1st mark (Graphics overlay mark) for indicating whether to have synthesized figure in main image.Color
Adjust mapping processing unit 123 according to the 1st mark, decision is to carry out the processing of the 1st tone mapping or carry out the processing of the 2nd tone mapping.
In addition, figure includes subtitle and menu, the 1st mark includes indicating the 2nd of subtitle whether has been synthesized in main image
Whether mark (subtitle superposition mark) and expression have synthesized the 3rd mark (menu superposition mark) of menu in main image.By
This, in the case where the case where being superimposed subtitle and being superimposed menu, is able to carry out the tone mapping being suitble to respectively with it and handles.
For example, tone mapping processing unit 123 is being switched to the case where the 2nd tone mapping is handled from the processing of the 1st tone mapping
Under, the nearest conversion curve in the processing of the 2nd tone mapping, before continuing to use.Thereby, it is possible to inhibit from the 1st tone
Brightness significantly changes in the switching that mapping processing is handled to the 2nd tone mapping.
For example, as shown in Figure 10, tone mapping processing unit 123A the 2nd tone mapping processing in, for boundary luminances with
On brightness conversion curve is changed in temporal sequence according to the variation of the time series of the maximum brightness of image, for less than
The brightness of boundary luminances, no matter how the variation of the time series of the maximum brightness of image all uses certain conversion curve.
Accordingly, for brightness more than boundary luminances, optimal tone mapping is able to carry out at each moment, and for not
Brightness to boundary luminances is able to suppress brightness change.
It carries out in addition, the image display 102 in relation to present embodiment has using corresponding with the maximum brightness of image
Conversion curve will the luminance transformation of image tone mapping processing tone mapping processing unit 123 and display tone mapping at
The display unit 124 of image after reason.The switching of tone mapping processing unit 123 is the time series for carrying out the maximum brightness according to image
Variation the 1st tone mapping processing (S112) of changing conversion curve with time series, no matter or carrying out the maximum of image
How the variation of the time series of brightness all handles (S113) using the 2nd tone mapping of certain conversion curve.
As a result, such as the classification according to image, switching is by the conversion curve used in tone mapping with time sequence
Column change is still fixed.It is that optimal tone mapping is carried out at each moment thereby, it is possible to be switched according to classification of image etc., also
It is to inhibit would otherwise be the brightness change of certain image by fixing tone mapping.In this way, 102 energy of image display
The quality of enough images for improving display.
In addition, carrying out the 1st in the case that tone mapping processing unit 123 does not include figure in image ("No" in S111)
Tone mapping handles (S112), in the case where including figure in image ("Yes" in S111), carries out the processing of the 2nd tone mapping
(S113).Thereby, it is possible to inhibit the variation of the brightness of figure.
In addition, tone mapping processing unit 123 is the processing of the 1st tone mapping of progress according to expression or carrying out the 2nd tone reflects
The 1st mark (Graphics overlay mark) of processing is penetrated, decision is to carry out the processing of the 1st tone mapping or carry out at the 2nd tone mapping
Reason.
In addition, the 1st mark includes indicating whether the 2nd comprising subtitle indicates (subtitle superposition mark) and indicate in image
